Woodward provides the thrust reverser actuation system and selected Crane to provide the proximity switches that detect the position of mechanisms within the system. Eight proximity switches are used on each engine.
“Crane provides proximity sensing technology on all Airbus programs. We are very pleased to add new-generation advanced proximity switch technology and reliability, through Woodward, for the Airbus A330neo thrust reverser system application,” says Rick Jones, senior vice president for Crane Aerospace & Electronics.
